Question

P=12/q is it direct joint or inverse variation and what is ithe constant variation ​

Answer 1

It is inverse relation.

Constant of variation is 12.

Explanation:

We have given a relation.

p = 12/q

We have to determine whether the relation is inverse or direct.

Direct variation is defined as

p = kq where k is constant of variation.

Inverse variation is defined as

p = k/q where k is constant of variation.

Hence, given relation is inverse variation where p is inversely proportional to q.

In given equation, k = 12

Constant of variation is 12.

Answer 2

i) inverse variation

ii) constant k = 12

Explanation:

Here the given relationship p = 12/q

It is an inverse variation.

The general form y = k/x. it means y is inversely proportional to x, and k is the constant.

By comparing the given relationship with the general form, we find the constant k = 12.

Therefore, answer is:

i) inverse variation

ii) constant k = 12

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
